Quality mini fridge

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020

I bought this fridge for its reputation for being a quiet operating model. I use it my home office which doubles as a guest bedroom. The fridge lives up to my expectations for quiet operating. I barely hear it when it is on. The only caveat is that you hear very clearly when it comes on and shuts off. There is a 'pop' sound when the compressor starts. It's a 1 sec pop and it's gone. If that bothers you then you won't find this fridge 'quiet'. * update on temperature performance. When the dial for temperature control is set to low, it gets the fridge down to ~ 44F. Set to medium (more cold) it gets into the mid 30s F. Also, keep in mind that it is a manual defrost model so you have to open the door for a few hours every few weeks. I just let the ice box thaw, wipe it down and then fire it back up again. Decent little fridge.

Not so cool....

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015

I was hoping to keep about $200 worth of rats for my snakes in this thing. From what I read I thought you could use it as a freezer or a fridge but it is mainly just a fridge. It has a very small area for a freezer.... you might be able to put a popsickle or two in it. I put it to it's highest setting and took the freezer door off and it said 31F so I thought GREAT! Nope. I had the rats in it for a few days now and some of them thawed due to the un-even temperature. My findings are if you want something to keep non perishable items in such as soda cans this may work. For everything else I would not trust it one bit with it's uneven flow of temps. The rats and mice towards the front were still cold and hard but towards the back and bottom had thawed. Thankfully I am sure they can be refrozen due to it still being cold, only a few days have passed and I am feeding them to snakes. Do not be mislead by any thoughts of this thing reaching enough low temps to freeze or keep ice etc.

Great Little Refrigerator Keeps Everything Cold!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016

Size: 1.6 Cubic FeetPattern Name: RefrigeratorVerified Purchase

I. purchased this as a gift for a 10 teacher unit that works with students who have learning disabilities. We have a hot cocoa corner and people were bringing in bottles of milk and leaving them there.to go bad, so I got this little refrigerator to make the cocoa corner more complete so we could have fresh milk for the cocoa, and students and teachers could store perishable foods there. It's the perfect size and has a little freezer in it as well. It's amazing how much can be fit into it! It works beautifully, never causes a problem with the electricity (we also have numerous computers and printers in the resource center) and keeps everything nice and cold. Even the storage space on the door was well thought out and designed with room for large bottles of drinks. I'd by this again if I had to make the choice all over.

LOVE my little fridge!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016

Size: 1.6 Cubic FeetPattern Name: RefrigeratorVerified Purchase

It cools extremely well and quite quickly! The little freezer compartment really does freeze a few things I have tried so far...homemade pancakes, waffles, few pieces of bread, and small kid's ice/gel packs. It's not even turned up as high as I expected to have to set it in the beginning. Usually keep it at about half way, unless I am in and out a lot. I bought it to take to the church I work at, in my nursery class, since I work all three service times on Sundays as well as Wed nights and special events. I don't have to starve now. It fits so well in the cabinets under the counter. Very quiet too! I would most definitely recommend it to anyone! Considering ordering another for our basement at home.. I'm a Very happy customer!

Works well, just needs frequent defrost.

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019

Size: 2.4 Cubic FeetPattern Name: RefrigeratorVerified Purchase

Pros:
Cools quickly.
Can manage to keep ice cream frozen in top compartment.
Manually defrosts quickly.
Easy to use.

Cons:
Requires frequent defrost.
Could use another large shelf or mounted bracket for drip plate, so large shelf can be used at lower placement.

I like this mini fridge, while defrosting frequently at 2-3 days, does seem a bit short the defrost takes only around 30 mins. All thats required to facilitate a defrost is turning the fridge off on the internal control, closing then waiting 30-45 mins and then wiping out the top compartment and drip pan. Waiting any longer usually results in the side of the fridge getting warmer and the ability to cool the contents taking longer. (May feel colder when opened but items arent much cooler)

My fridge operates in a small room where the temp is usually in the mid 70's low 90's and vetalation to said room is cut off for 12 hours every day, why the temp gets so high I'm guessing. This area is on the higher end of humidity (VIrginia) and I mainly use it to cool water bottles at max setting (6). If the bottles are left and the fridge not needing to defrost, in the main compartment they do start to freeze, left around 8 hours or so untouched most bottles are frozen around 75% of the way.

Following the precautions that are listed with the materials that come with your fridge will help you help the fridge operate at max performance and prolong its life. On another note, since thunderstorms are a very frequent thing here and as a result power outages, I have it hooked into an outlet breaker box to prevent it from turning back on in case of power loss. While this is not needed, just remember that even large fridges can be taken out by a power surge or frequent power outages, always consider smaller appliances more likely to be damage by such.

The Little Fridge That Could

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017

Size: 2.4 Cubic FeetPattern Name: RefrigeratorVerified Purchase

Arrived from Amazon double boxed in perfect condition via USPS. My Brand new $2000 LG Refrigerator broke an could not be repaired,
This little Giant has been more dependable & a life saver after having to throw out $200,00 of food in between a month to replace the big useless fridge.There is not a whole lot of space but it stays cold, The freezer works good but is small, the bottom area does slant in so there is less space down there. Deal closer- The inside door has good storage area for tall plastic bottles unlike other mini refrigerator's that have 85% space dedicated just for cans which I never use. It does make a mild pop sound when the compressor kicks in. So far it is dependable an keeps everything cold. Looks nice in my Kitchen as a spare. Good Value for your money- Buy It.

Good freezer until you turn it down a bit!

Keeps things cold.

Not cool.

Friggin. COLD.

I had to turn this down to about 1/4 power so that my soda wouldn't hurt my teeth. D:

Very efficient, spacious on the inside compared to other fridges this size, and it makes a pleasant humming sound that lulls me to sleep at night.

Purchased 7 years ago, still going strong!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023

Size: 1.6 Cubic FeetPattern Name: RefrigeratorVerified Purchase

I purchased this January 2016, just looking back at my old orders and realized how long I've had this thing. It's been on almost every day since then, give or take a week or so.

My only issue is that it's kind of loud, but I don't keep it in my room so it's not too much of a problem. It was definitely worth the money.

since i am going through a remodel of my living room, kitchen and guest bedroom i have had to move upstairs to the master bedroom - all my appliances are currently out on the patio - which include my stove, dishwasher and fridge - so in order to get by without these i ordered my dorm size fridge - it works beautifully for my current needs - and the freezer holds two small frozen entrees - i would recommend this fridge/freezer
